All game-relevant updates will be posted on lostcompass, but you can also consider following eastbound. There is an informal optional game discord server — you’ll get a private message with an invite, once you comment to the Taken List.
Like it says on the application page tin — you can have a maximum of three characters in the game, and you can invite one new person in per month.
If you’re not already served on that front, we have some custom codes to help you set up a character inbox or permissions post. Both are entirely optional, and feel free to customise at will!
Your character is exempted from activity requirements this month.
An OOC CR meme will be posted today, if you want to give it a go!
NOTES
INTRO: Lilah can enjoy a rude awakening, herded by four of these beautiful creatures into the deceptive, illusion-heavy forests of Ke-Waihu. She has come awake during the Hunting season, and the filth and tatter of her clothes and shoes suggest she has been following the beasts for a number of hours now. With her, similarly captive, is Eda, with both women suffering from a long haze and an initial inability to focus or summon their strength. This should improve gradually. They cannot understand each other, although may gain this ability if they collect some of the communication devices scattered around the forest, possibly dropped by others during the hunt.
To their endless joy and consternation, they may find they have been adopted as the… found children of these beasts, who walk them on to a large lake, where other villagers have likewise been rallied and taken captive. The undead lord Beastmaster, who is visiting Ke-Waihu, appears to be holding court over his creatures and their prey, sending his animals to search through the forests and giving them a scrap of coarse, red cloak to smell and learn its scent. It appears they must locate any signs of the cloak’s former wearer. The Beastmaster himself releases some of the captive villagers, but is distracted by the call of a long, serpentine woman with a large head and hair that braids into her tail.
From here, Lilah and Eda can help each other slither away from their beastly captors unnoticed, can combine forces to help some of the other captives escape, can use their found communicator devices to get in touch with the network at large and coordinate a rescue, or... whatever comes to mind! Feel free to use the latest log to make your relevant top levels/threads, start new logs, make network posts — whatever works!
Once she reaches the village of Ke-Waihu in the morning, Lilah encounters Taksui, who recognises her as an otherworlder. Taksui informs her that she has reached the world of Akhuras, where undead factions battle each other and the living for control. The undead summon otherworldly reinforcements, to enslave or weaponise them in the conflict. Taksui serves as liaison to the elusive Merchant, who finds and transports such newcomers east, where beacons might return the visitors back to their home worlds.
Lilah is introduced as a new member of the Ke-Waihu village and asked to or tricked into drinking an elixir that will let her take over and atone for the sins of a village ancestor. Devout villagers believe this will gradually right the wrongs that have infected the community. You can find her ancestral curse here — enjoy figuring out how to atone for it! Check out how ancestral curses manifest and decide which of his two sins you’d like to play with.
Lilah has also received a ’family unit’ and housing assignment. The villagers of Ke-Waihu believe the housemates are genuinely part of a family or clan — so try to cozy up.
ACCEPTED
Thank you for your application!
